Mister laffa

With the new owners the place went all the way to 2 stars. The meat is dry, the salads not fresh as used to be. And the service accordingly to the food is not so good. Hope the owners read this review and will do something about this place.

The food was edible, a bit overpriced for my liking because I have had better tasting Shawarma.

Ordered a shawarma in laffa and a falafel pita. The shawarma was over cooked, over dry meat and the laffa fell apart. I had to use a fork to eat it.
The falafel was really not good — dry and not freshly prepared. The guy behind the counter used pre-​made falafel balls that felt like they were there a long time. Also the falafel mix was very dense — definately mixed with flour or something that’s not chickpea. Texture like cardboard.
I never had a falafel I didn’t like until I ate this one.
Very disappointed. Next time I get a craving for falafel or shawarma I’m going to go to a different place — lots of good places in the area.

This place is alright. Chicken shawarma with rice is dry every time I order it, but the salad is good.

This was an amazing place, unfortunately Hassan (the owner) sold the restaurant and the food is not what is was.

Very good shawarma. They make the laffa wraps there in the restaurant, always fresh. There are not so many good shawarma places around.

When Hassan used to own the place the food and the service where 5 stars! We were there all the time. Unfortunately he sold the place and I have been there 3 times since every time worst than the other, Need a new shawarma place :(

Great food, everything looks fresh and clean, friendly prices, fast service, I will definitely comeback here again.
highly recommended

Everything is a-​ok!
Mister Laffa’s was recommended to me by a coworker who lives in the area. I visited one evening and found the atmosphere to be a bit odd. Seems like there was a dispute between the business and a customer as there was a police woman inside taking notes of the situation. This doesn’t hinder my rating — sh*t happens, I get it.
I ordered a chicken shawarma salad to go. The chicken was a touch dry but still flavourful. The shreds were small, little pieces of chicken shrapnel was scattered atop my salad. There wasn’t a shortage of bird on this meal. I asked for turnips and other pickled things, tabouleh, hummus, lettuce, tomato, eggplant, maybe cucumber and topped with drizzled tahini. They were running low on tabouleh so I got the last few scoops. Because of this shortage, the lady told me to get «whatever I like», so I did. Then my salad cost me $ 15… I still paid and ate and was content. But the price threw me off and I wished there was more tabouleh!

Probably as close as you can get to quality middleeastern shawarma in the gta. By far the best place for shawarma. The place got renamed to famous laffa after the co owner split from dr. Laffa and this soecific place has undergone «renovations» that made the place smaller than what it was before. I’d give it 5 stars if there were more tables to sit and better quality service.

Warning!!! Raw meat is being served.
Picked up a shawarma there, the meat looked almost burned from the outside (the roll) but after few bites I noticed the meat is a bit chewy, I decide to have a closer look and noticed some pieces are not even cooked!
Pictures worth a thousand words.
Avoid.

Was in the area and needed to get takeout for dinner.
Ordered the chicken shawarma, which came with a side salad and rice. The portions were very generous, but I thought the taste was a little off — someone mentioned that a lot of cumin was used so maybe that was it.
Also ordered the baba ganoush which came with a laffa, which was pretty good. One laffa was definitely not enough for the dip though!

I went into mister laffa on Saturday July 18^th at about 1 pm.
If I could, I wouldn’t give this place any stars.
The establishment feels that it’s doing so well it doesn’t need to serve all its customers.
I went in to buy some laffa.
I wanted to pick up some for a party that we were going to.
Once I arrived I was asked to place my order by the gentleman at the counter.
I asked to purchase 5 laffa breads.
He responded by saying, oh sorry we can’t give you any.
I said, really? Why?
He said, this customer wanted 2 laffa sandwiches then the other person wants 10 laffas and I have to make a lot more later.
I responded by saying, so you are not going to sell me any laffa bread.
He responded by saying no.
I was quite bewildered by this and responded by saying, I have never been here before but I definitely won’t be back.
The gentleman wasn’t phased and said
Ahhh, your choice!
So like I said, if you want to feel that an establishment wants your business and cares about customer service, this is not the place to go to.

Need a serious middle eastern fix this is a great choice in Vaughan /​Thornhill. I love going to this place for large portions, great seasoning for a more authentic seasoning (stronger seasoning) and for the most part I know I am getting a lot of great food at a great price.
Unfortunately there are 2 things that are lacking in this place.
Service tends to be an issue with wait staff and getting your order on time.
Not always organized when the rush of orders come in and the lineup gets backed up out the door.
Would be nice to have Wi-​Fi and better seating.
One of the better choices in the area for both eat in and take out.

May be there is something wrong with my taste buds, but I honestly don’t understand why people enjoy Mr. Laffa so much and write all these great reviews… This place is in our neighborhood, so we went there twice before writing it off the list. The laffas were tasteless and dry, the dips were of the same quality as prepackaged food at Longo’s, yet the place is always packed with people??? I think Hanna’s Shawarma is much better than this place, it is marginally more expensive but the food certainly tastes better.

I love this place!
The lines can be a bit long, if you go during lunch on a weekday, but they’re worth the wait!
I really like how you can choose what vegetables to put in, unlike another shawarma place I’ve been to.
The food here is delicious, but the only thing that disappointed me is the service I receive sometimes.
The lady who works the cash register is a little rude, and always seems annoyed with me. Also, some of the people who make the shawarmas end up ripping the pita bread, and barely give me any vegetables.
But other than a few unpleasant workers, this place is great!
4.1 stars!

When any establishment uses Cumin generously it means the food is questionable. Mister Lafta uses it too generously. When I asked why they add so much the waitress shrugged her shoulder and smiled.
I didnt even want my family to eat the chicken after tasting it. Tabulli didnt have tomatoes. Humus and fries were okay.
Definitely not going again. The reviews appear to be from employees.

Came here on a weekday. It is a walk up and order kind of place. Nice interior place and good service. I ordered the chicken shish kebab white meat entrée and it was delicious.
Chicken was cooked very well and this is basically done infront of you. for 16 dollars it is an ok value, got the hot veggies and chicken and also an assortment of all the salads at the salad bar + the laffa bread.
come here if you want a quick shawarma meal. portions are good.
giving this place 4 stars.

For $ 6.99+tax you get a pita full to the brim with Shawarma and humus, salad etc.
Fresh a d filling. This guy rocks!

I read the reviews of the guys before me and I wonder if that’s the same establishment.
I been here countless times and had most things on the menu and still never had a bad experience or mediocre one.
It’s a smallish place so the service is not super fast but the food is authentic, fresh and delicious.
Hassan the owner is friendly too and usually sends over a cup of turkish coffee and baklava on the house when you finish your food.
